Welcome to the library catalog of the
Ricci Institute for Chinese-Western Cultural History. Our holdings focus on Chinese
history, Jesuit missions of the Late Ming and early Qing dynasties, (c.
1500-1800), and East-West cultural, scientific, and religious exchange. The
Ricci Institute Library on the Lone Mountain Campus is physically separate from
the Gleeson Library/Geschke Learning
Resource Center, which also holds many important primary sources and
reference items in English and other Western languages. Library access is limited. Please see Restrictions.
